Workshop Plan
First Half:
Ellesse Vocal Warm up: (Not everyone will want to)
Scales- (Explain why) This will help everyone to just warm up their voices, it is important to do this so we don't strain or injure our throat.
Low to High then High to Low
Break down -
Make it fun. See how long we can hold a note for. (All together)
Split class into half, one side Low to High - Other Low to High.
Make it fun again. See which side can hold it for longest.
(5 minutes)
Articulation- (Explain why) This is another technique of warming up the vocal chords. It also helps you to focus on your breathing technique. (Bearing in mind not everyone will)
'Brr' 'Vvvv' 'Tttt' 'Sss' 'Mmm'
Break down -
In a circle everyone can choose a consonant and we go round in order.
THEN
Do this in different pitches.
(5 minutes)
Explain Theme of workshop-
We're staying on the theme of 'Culture'...
We've focused on a few games that have some relation to cultures...
MAYBE
Ask class what they remember about different cultures, make reference to last workshop.
What country/continent did we look at?
What games did we do?
(preferably Shay who can tell us this)
If they don't remember:
We did game of Sherades which focused on one culture.
Freeze images.
Sound scopes.
Musical drums etc.
Role Play
(5 minutes)
Memory Ball/Item Game- (Teachers may need to take part to help)
(Examples & Explain the game, take questions) (3 minutes)
Each child is given a name of a country. Someone is going to be in the middle of the circle and they say a name of the country and whoever has the name of the country goes to catch/pass/take the ball from the person in the middle then they go into the middle of the circle and say the name of a country. It's also a memory game so we all have to remember the names of the countries each of us have been given in order for everyone to get a chance to be in the middle.
BEFORE GAME STARTS!!
Break down-
Everyone in group will memorize the country each student was given. We can go through this in a circle.
To break it down even more, see if someone can do it all by themselves.
Try and see if someone can memorize it at random, if we select a random person each time, OR, let someone else select at random.
(15 minutes)
Marion
Country Sherrades
(Example & Explain the game, make reference to last workshop) (3 minutes)
Marion gives information out about different countries (flags, information, statistics, pictures) to each pair. Then the pair/group have to be able to communicate that country they've been given to the rest of the class.
Break down-
(At the end of the game, ask class if they learnt anything in particular about different cultures/countries.)
(10+ minutes)
Second Half:
Marion
Physical Warm-up: (Not everyone can)
Move head side to side
Massage face
Make face as large and as small as possible
Chewing gum warm-up
(5 minutes)
Explain to class, cause we're back from a break we might need to find a point of relaxation to be able to focus...therefore we will be doing an imagination exercise.
(1 minute)
Imagination Exercise
Explain to class
I want you guys to imagine any country they want/ is it a real country or is it a made up country?
What is the setting like...
What sounds are there...
Is it empty, are there lots of people?
Break down-
Share back with class if they want, what they saw...
(10 minutes)
Contra Dance
Find a song related to a specific culture, and we can make up a dance to it. Present the dance at the end if we want.
(25 minutes)
If spare time, to calm everyone down, listen to a song to relax or and recap over workshop.
